Went to Lake Tapps today with my daughter and my buddy Capt. They call it the smallmouth factory and I can see why. We hooked quite a few very small ones. Although I got my personal best today 2.8lbs ...

Fished Tapps from about 6:30 till 3:30. Still great fishing, though the fish have moved off into 20 to 22 feet of water and aren't feeding as aggressively as a couple days before. But I'm certainly no...

This report is for the past Tuesday the 30th. Put a 44 in the frabill. Had a window in the evening and it paid it for me. Hit a fish about 40 inches and missed it. Had another come out of the weeds di...

Went fishing yesterday with a friend in his bassboat. Was on the lake at 6:00. I've had some great days on Lake Tapps. But it out did itself this time. My partner caught somewhere over 30 smallmouth. ...

Took the boy out to tapps this morning. Arrived at gate open and had it in mind I would NOT fish the shallows which I'm soooo comfortable with. Started out at a rocky point that drops from 3ft down to...

Castmasters had a club contest on Lake Tapps. Now, I will tell you, I have never had much luck on this lake. Something was different today. We launched at the PSE launch and Uncle and I blasted off an...

Hooked up with a fishing buddy and his bass boat, which is 8 ft longer than mine, and has a outboard of 214 HP more. Mine will do about 20 MPH, and his does somewhere around 72 MPH. Other than that, t...

Went fishing with a couple buddies this morning/afternoon. Trolling for muskie on my little 10 foot fiberglass boat. Morning started off slow with no fish for about the first hour. Trolled past Tapps ...

Hit the water at 5 stayed until 11. Had a good run around stumps and docks. Used some canks and some plastics. Silver with some black seemd to work the best. Majority between 14 to 18 inches caught 14...

Went to Tapps this morning. Started out slow. Never put a fish in the boat in the first two hours. But that first fish was 3-2, which was my second bigest for the day. After that it was a couple fish ...

Went to Lake Tapps this afternoon for some bass. I got my blow up boat and went into the center of the swimming area away from the swimming people. I use my bill lewis rattle trap and after a couple c...

Got out on the water around 1800. Didn't have much luck. Caught a little dink on a crank. Caught a 12" one on a plastic worm at 20' around 1930. Called it a day at 2000. Lake seemed to be in better co...

Wow, what a change. I guess this is why they call what we do fishing, rather than catching. Launched to water far less windy than the past two days. Overcast. How much more can a guy ask for? Well, mo...

Went back out to Tapps today. Once again it was breezy in the morning then settling down in the afternoon. Caught 8 on a crankbait in around 12 feet of water, and 8 more on a Carolina rig in around 18...

After two weeks of activities that have kept me from fishing, I finally got out. Went to Tapps. The day began windy, making handling the boat tough on the main lake ridge I wanted to fish. Came up wit...

Spent the morning with my "muskyhuntress" trying to put a good fish in the net. Tapps is great for small fish right now. Lots of 30" and under fish now. The bigger fish are far and few in between and ...

Kevinb and I hit Tapps early this morning till 1230pm. The cloudy cool weather was a pleasant surprise with a little rain that really felt pretty good. Fished hard with crank baits and worms. Water te...
